To Tib & BT: Just wanted to tell you you are right about the communication. I have mentioned before her lack of interaction with anyone around her. She has spoken only one or two intelligible words in the last 3 years. She speaks seldom, and when she does it is gibberish. My father died at 11:10. At 11:30, the staff came into the room to feed my mother. She was noticeably sad, and agitated. Her only words were, "Come back! Come back!" as clear as they could be. She knows. We do not know how, but she knows.

I am so sorry for your loss, lexie. She does know. After 50 years, she knows. And your dear father will be waiting in heaven for her when she's ready.

CBB - Even though my mother has been gone from my sight for 10 years and I have other immediate family - Dad, brothers, sister - I remember feeling like an orphan. Sometimes, I still do. I talk to my Dad a couple times a week but it's not the same conversation I would have if I were talking to my Mom. Nothing is the same.

None - You know I love you. I am so sorry to hear about your nephew. May God wrap his arms around you and your family and continue to hold you in His Love.

Lexie~Sending you lots of {{{HUGS}}} and sending my condolences to you & your family. Praying for your whole family.

Karma~I just saw all this today and am sorry for not responding sooner. I'm adding you to my prayers and asking for the Lord to undertake in the situation and sending you {{{HUGS}}}

None~I'm so sorry to hear about your nephew. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Continuing to pray for all of the monkeys, Peaches, CBB, Mrs. Red's friend, Angie's arm/hubby's foot, Sunfreak and everyone else. I may not know your needs but I know the Lord does. May God Bless you ALL each and everyday!

None, I've been thinking about and praying for you and your family this weekend. We, as humans here on earth, have such a hard time reconciling when He calls one of our own home. May He comfort you and your family and give you the peace that passes understanding. I love you sweetie and am here if you need to talk...

Thank you, everyone who has posted here and those who have emailed. I arrived back home last night, lexie I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing. These are milestones in life we all share yet it never ceases to be so painful to hear of others enduring losing those they love.

My nephew was the first grandchild in our family, he had just driven home his new girlfriend and was returning home, hence the late hour. They were young and caught up in their feelings that night, he was driving and text messaging her - he also text messaged his father he was going on a trip with she and her parents that weekend? He lost control of the car and crashed into a concrete culvert and died nearly instantly from internal injuries. Yesterday was unbearably sad, even my stoic brother could not stop gasping with tears. Words escape all of us to console one another, hopefully as time goes on we will find the words for the love is there.

Life is so precious, so many things are so unimportant, Rick taught me that and at least I knew I was losing him in advance. I am trying to take comfort as is my family, that my father and Rick are there to greet him and to comfort him as my nephew passes into God's hands.

Please pray for his parents, my mother, and his three siblings. At this moment their pain is inconsolable. God bless each of you and I am thankful for your support and love and prayers, more than you may know.

lexie - I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad.... May God comfort you in a way only he can. Prayers for you and your family. I lost my Daddy 9 years ago, and although painful, I knew that he wasn't sick anymore and was whole again. It will get easier, you will still miss him terribly, but in time the tears will turn to smiles...((((hugs))))

None - I am heart broken to hear of your nephews tragic death. I will keep you and the family in my prayers for strenghth in the upcoming days. The death of someone so young with such promise is doubly hard.

I am at a loss for words, but God knows what is in our hearts and He will be there to carry you in his loving arms. He knows.

I had the procedure done and I really don't want to go through that again. I am deathly afraid of needles, so my dr. had me take a valium ahead of time. It helped. They brought me right to the point of having a heart attach and I thought it was strange because the pain was not even close to the pains I've been having at home. What has me worried is that the nurse that questioned me ahead of time told me that my dr would get a report within 1-2 weeks. When it was all over, the cardiologist told me that he would have the report to my dr. by 5 pm that afternoon. Now I don't know what to think.

Has anyone heard from Katysmom? It seems she has not posted at all during the past month This post (quoted) is from the last day she posted. I've been watching---hoping and praying she's doing well.

I continue to pray for all who have experienced illness and loss lately...including Peaches, SF, Lexie, None, Angie. I hold your "Monkey" face (avatar) in my mind as I pray because I don't know what you really look like, but I know God knows...

I am so late to this thread.None ... keeping your family in my prayers... God Bless and Comfort you and your family....

Mrs I'm so sorry about Jennifer, I do hope she can find some help for this and realize the sin was with him and not her. I do think that is such a common response for women, to feel as if they can't wash away the dirt of what has happened? I will pray for her.
